Consequence of the battle of interests as a result of the Zamfara North Senatorial District rerun Primaries conducted in Zamfara State, where prominent leaders of the party showcased their separate interests, Senator Tijjani Yahaya Kaura has stated that his mandate cannot be stolen.

He made the declaration in his homeland at Kaura Namoda town, where he briefed the working Journalists in the state and social media operators on the outcome of Monday’s primaries, confirming himself as the true winner of the exercise and the choice of the people of Zamfara North Senatorial District.

In his words, the APC chieftain said, following the results of the last purported primaries elections conducted on May 19th, 2026, as the Almighty Allah would like it, the primary elections were reconducted on Monday 2nd November 2026 here in Zamfara North Senitorial District Comprising of Kaura Namoda, Birnin Magaji, Zurmi and Shinkafi Local Government Areas.

The outcome of the re-conducted primaries made me emerge as the sole candidate for the Senatorial seat of Zamfara North Senatorial District for All Progressive Congress, our great Party.

I express my gratitude to the Almighty Allah, the electorate, the people, and the stakeholders of our great Party for standing by me and giving me their votes, and to all those whose support has made me emerge as the sole candidate for the Zamfara North Senatorial District.

However, I am disappointed over the unconstitutional moves of certain persons to truncate the freedom of Democracy in Zamfara North Senatorial District.

I observed that, when the election processes were conducted yesterday, it was clear that the pendulum of victory was swinging in my favour, but the persons in question, who are careless about the choice of the people and the development of Zamfara North Senatorial District, attempted to steal my mandate by hijacking the Chairman of the NWC for Zamfara North Senatorial District rerun Primaries to an unknown destination to hinder him from announcing the results of the exercise.

The National Working Committee of our great Party, poised with the zeal to redeem and secure the People’s mandate through fairness and transparency, gathered under the instructions of the national leadership of APC and has chosen another NWC chairman to complete the duties of the Zamfara North Senatorial District rerun Primaries.

I want to state expressly to the hearing of everyone that my mandate cannot be stolen.

I call on the people of Zamfara North Senatorial District to remain very calm because I remain the constitutionally elected Senatorial candidate for Zamfara North Senatorial District under our great party, APC, and no one can challenge that.

I also urge all our party supporters, members, stakeholders, and admirers to come out in mass and vote for all our party candidates in the 2027 general elections.
